The Republic of Den Isle is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Samuel Watson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.946 billion Den Isleans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Springston. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Den Islean economy, worth 871 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,266 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, the nation is going green, meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions, and wandering Den Isleans are known for their one-track minds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Den Isle's national animal is the Platypus, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Den Isle is ranked 138,159^th in the world and 310^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Populations, with 4.95 billion capita.
